Temporary Overwidth Detection for Safer Work Zones
Discover how Street Smart’s Temporary Overwidth Detection System improved work zone safety during a highway construction project in Council Bluffs, Iowa.
Advanced LiDAR Detection for Safer Highway Work Zones
During a bridge project on I-80 in Council Bluffs, Iowa, Street Smart Rental deployed a Temporary Overwidth Detection System to identify overwidth trucks before they entered the highway work zone, helping protect motorists and construction crews.
Our system featured:
- Advanced LiDar Detection to identify overwidth vehicles before they entered the work zone, helping prevent dangerous and costly crashes.
- Real-Time Alerts through dynamic message signs, directing overwidth trucks to safely exit before reaching the narrowed lanes.
- DOT System Integration with platforms including DOT 511, WAZE, Work Zone Data Exchange (WZDx), and overhead message boards for enhanced traveler communication.
Temporary Overwidth Detection Systems are ideal for highway and bridge construction projects, offering:
- Equipment RENTAL option eliminates ownership costs
- Advanced LiDAR detection for overwidth, overheight, and wrong-way vehicles
- Real-time alerts through dynamic message signs
- Integration with DOT Traffic management systems and traveler information platforms
- Temporary deployment for changing work zone conditions
- Improved safety for motorists and construction crews
Whether you’re managing a bridge project, highway reconstruction, or another work zone with lane restrictions, Street Smart’s Temporary Overwidth Detection System helps prevent crashes, improve compliance, and create a safer work zone for everyone.

Portable Traffic Signal FAQs
What Makes Street Smart Signals the Best on the Market?
Unlike standard temporary portable traffic signals that rely on a single form of wireless communication, Street Smart utilizes quad-redundant wireless communication—point-to-point radio, cellular, WiFi, and satellite. This ensures reliable communication anywhere, safely and efficiently managing traffic in work zones.
Can I Get a Video of My Work Zone?
Yes! Work zone-facing cameras are available as an option for all our signals. You can access real-time images and videos during the project, with recordings available upon request.
